How many here were homeschooled?
by Highlander in.
i'm quite new here, so i apologize if this topic has been covered.. the reason i ask this,, i was raised in the midwest.
a majority(more than 50%) of the children at the local congregation were homeschooled.. the end result was that these homeschooled kids had social problems, found it difficult making and keeping friends and were completely out of touch with the world.. as these kids became adults, rarely did they stay on as witnesses and usually went to the other extreme,, you know the old saying,, sex drugs and rock n' roll..

Would you have been born if your parents were NOT J-dubs?
by Highlander ini think it's very safe to say that i would not have been born if one or both of my parents were never jw's.
mom and dad met because they were witnesses.
if not for this cult, they wouldn't have met and i(their armagedden baby) would never have existed.

Anti-witnessing
by Highlander induring my time as a j-dub, it was encouraged to take every opportunity to informal witness with people.
a good example would be to witness to a co-worker.. i avoided this as much as possible when i was a dub.
if the topic of religion came up at work i would try to change the topic or gracefully exit the conversation.. now that i'm far removed from this cult, i find myself taking every opportunity i can to anti-witness against the j-dubs.

A partial email from a j-dub regarding the convention.
by Highlander ini can't post all of it and it's not going to be written exactly as i received it cuz i don't want to expose myself.
another thing that i came away with was the realization of how close we are to the end of this system
it was brought out that the great tribulation will strike suddenly, without warning, and that we should

"It's ok Officer, I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses"
by Highlander inearlier today i was thinking back to some of my old friends i had while living in minnesota, and attending the pine city congregation.
